Understanding what helps us create the most comfortable result for you.

Choosing dentures is a positive step toward better comfort, appearance and confidence. Most people adjust very well to dentures — especially when they’re designed carefully to suit their individual needs. At SA Precision Dentures, we assess your mouth, health and lifestyle so we can recommend the type of denture that will give you the best possible comfort and function. The following factors simply help us tailor your treatment — they are not barriers to wearing dentures.

What Helps Us Determine the Best Denture for You

These points don’t decide whether dentures will work, but rather which approach will give you the most natural, stable and comfortable fit.

Your General Health
Certain conditions like diabetes or dry mouth can affect your gums, but dentures can still be designed successfully — we simply take these factors into account.

Recent Extractions
If teeth were removed recently, the gums will change shape as they heal. This is normal and we plan for adjustments during this period.

How Long You’ve Worn Dentures
Whether you're new to dentures or replacing older ones, we design them to suit where your mouth is now, ensuring improved comfort and stability.

Jaw Alignment & Muscle Function
Your jaw joints and muscle patterns influence how your dentures sit. Understanding these helps us create a denture that feels more natural.

Diet & Lifestyle
From soft diets to eating a wide variety of foods, your lifestyle helps us shape the design and strength of your denture.

Bone Levels
Bone changes over time for everyone. Modern denture systems — including BPS and implant-retained dentures — can provide excellent stability even when bone levels are lower.

Adaptation & Confidence
Everyone adapts at their own pace. With support, minor adjustments and the right design, most people quickly regain confident chewing, speaking and smiling.

The Bottom Line

Dentures where required are suitable for most people. These factors simply help us recommend the most comfortable, stable and realistic option for you.
